Meet Our Counselors & Therapists!

Stephanie Phillips, LPC, NCC, CCTPTherapist & Owner
I would describe my style as supportive and empowering, gentle while confronting or challenging, and periodically incorporating humor. My philosophy on the client/therapist relationship is that it is a partnership in which both parties are open and honest. As a therapist, it is my job to help guide the process. However, success occurs when clients are motivated in and out of session to make wanted changes.

Laura Pond, LPC
Therapist You are more than a diagnosis and you are stronger than the problems you are facing. I want to help you realize just how strong and resilient you are while providing a safe place for you to express your doubts, fears, and insecurities. I will work WITH you to alleviate the symptoms you are struggling with in a sincere and practical manner. I strongly encourage feedback throughout the therapeutic relationship and will collaborate with you on a consistent basis. You are the expert on your life, not I. That being said… two minds will always be better than one.

Casey Baine, LPCA, LCASTherapist

Life can be incredibly difficult and in today’s fast paced society, you may feel that there is little time to work through issues that need to be addressed. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a safe place with a non-judgmental professional. Goals of therapy are tailored to address you and/or your family’s specific needs. Many small changes can yield big, positive results and can make life seem less overwhelming.

Jennifer Freifeld, LCSW

Therapist

Seeking therapy shows your strength to face challenges. I respect your choice to create meaningful changes and would be honored to be a part of your process. When we meet, we will discuss your difficulties and goals. I will hear your unique experience and will learn what motivates you. From there, we will choose the therapeutic approaches which best fit you. I may draw from evidence-based practices, mindfulness approaches, and experience with mediation and the arts. I look forward to meeting you, collaborating with you, and celebrating with you as you find more of what you are looking for—whether that is acceptance, peace, connection, courage, exuberance, or another personal goal.

Renee Smusz, LCSW Therapist
As a therapist I strive to provide a secure and nonjudgmental space that invites others to share in the voyage of self-discovery. I believe a holistic approach to mental and emotional wellness can empower people to change behavioral patterns, strengthen social connections, and address the concerns of the present moment. I view this as a collaborative process in which the individual is the expert on his or her own mind, body, and spirit. I am honored to partner with individuals and offer tools, insight and encouragement so that they may feel better equipped to meet life’s challenges with hope and confidence.

John von der Lehr, LCSWTherapist I view the therapy experience as a “directed partnership” where strategies are used to directly impact the areas of your life that are in need of improvement. I don’t believe that “this is just the way it is” or “things can’t get better” or any of these other beliefs that hold people back from being happy and fulfilled in their lives. Whether it is depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, problems in marriages, work situations, etc. or if you are looking for help with several small things in your life right now or if you are in a dark and difficult place, therapy can make a dramatic difference. Incorporating new or different understanding and with continual application of proven strategies, your emotions, thoughts and very life can be better and more enriching than you might even realize. I look forward to hearing from you.

Katie Mendat List, LPCS
Therapist I serve children, adolescents and their families. I believe change/growth occur in a non-judgmental environment that provides a balance of challenge and support. All individuals have the potential for successfully meeting life’s day-to-day challenges. My primary goal as your counselor is to assist you in using the resources/strengths that you bring to the table in combination with appropriate therapeutic interventions to reach your goals. Sessions focus on self-awareness, choice, problem solving, and setting goals for the present and future.

Barbara Garrett, LCSW
Therapist I offer insightful, supportive, and interactive therapy blended with resourceful, practical suggestions that can help you heal life’s hurts, like yourself more, adjust to life’s transitions, and develop improved communication skills and relationships. Many people think that they should be able to solve their problems by themselves, but doing it yourself does not mean doing it alone. It means bringing in the resources that will assist you. You can create a better life – first decide to, and then bring in the resources you need to do so. I invite you to let me be your resource, and assist you in improving your relationships and life.

John Schulze, LPC
Therapist Life can often be difficult. Making changes in our lives can be even more difficult, but it does not have to be that way. Professional counseling can help us explore our unhealthy beliefs, behaviors, and relationships, as well as clarify our values and goals. I believe counseling is a collaborative process where we come to understand ourselves better and develop strategies to make healthy changes. We cannot change our past, but we can come to terms with it and choose to have a healthy future. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you bring about positive, lasting change in your life.

Jasmine Potts, LPC
Therapist I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can connect and be heard. I believe that the issues we face in life have psychological, biological, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. I work with children, adolescents, and their families in developing social and emotional skills, processing life transitions, improving challenging behaviors, and building self-esteem. My approach is holistic, taking the entire person and their unique life experiences into consideration for treatment. I enjoy working creatively with clients to help them achieve their goals. Each of my clients is very important to me. I am committed to helping my clients and their families feel validated and empowered in cultivating positive change in their daily lives.

Jessica Faison, LMFTA
Therapist Therapy is a journey of self-realization and truth, one from which I believe we all can benefit. I believe in providing individuals and couples with a safe, supportive, and productive environment in which they can confront issues and create resolutions. My approach to treatment is client-centered and includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy. My goal as your therapist is to help you identify tools best suited for your self-maintenance. As much as I will encourage you, I will also challenge you. We’ll work collaboratively to set goals as well as a plan to achieve them. Life is experimental, and we’re all works in progress. Sometimes we need to change a formula to get the results we want, and that is absolutely 100% O.K.

Connie Lancaster, LPC
Therapist We all experience ups and downs in life and I strongly believe that seeking help during the difficult times is a sign of great strength, not weakness, as it is a first step toward change. As a therapist, I view counseling as a collaborative process in which the client’s input and insight is just as valuable as mine. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which clients can be heard, supported, and empowered to transform their lives through exploration of thoughts and beliefs, behavioral patterns, and experiences that tend to hold them back. Through active participation in psychotherapy, clients can build on their inner strengths and develop the skills necessary to achieve the change and growth desired.

Christine Hogan, LPC, LCAS
Therapist Not everything happens for a reason, but you can find reason in everything. I can offer you a chance to explore those situations that seem to be weighing you down. Though the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I can teach you coping and communication skills that will help you resolve those conflicts that seem too broken or too large to correct. With the right perspective and skills, those weights can be lifted from your shoulders and you can walk tall into the next stage of your life. Let help you on your journey.

Byron Brooks, PhD, LPC, LCAS
Therapist I believe all individuals have the ability to process their complex world to discover their inner strengths helping them to live a healthier, happier life. As a therapist my goal is to provide a nurturing and empathic environment where clients can discover their potential and feel safe to explore difficult life events. I enjoy building therapeutic relationships with my clients and families and helping through the journey to a more fulfilled life.
